30 jun 06 "Is there an unseen war going on in the subframe of our civilization between forces loyal to the True-Mattsmith and those of the Anti-Mattsmith with ancient blade and energy weapon which will only end when you and the beast meet at Armageddon?" what the hell is the subframe of our civilization? i'm just going to ignore that. is there a some kind of unobvious, perhaps metaphoric conflict between "forces" representing or in concert with me vs. forces who "are" the "nemesis" of "me"...ok, nevermind. i'm not going to answer this in a meaningful way. i'm guessing this is the same person who posted the original "me vs. anti-me" question, a few days ago. i'm thinking maybe this and that stupid nietzsche question are going to be really short, cursory, and retarded/offensive (eg. "nietzsche suggests in his anti-realism that you torpedo a miniature canteloupe explosively up your colon"). my energy has already been spent on that riemann question of long ago (actually, my first real question -- the "first" on the page is my own question), and i'm not sure i have it in me to research a bunch of crap and then write a lengthy treatise on how i basically don't understand it. however, all of this whining really belongs in the answer to the question in question. but i'm trying to fill up space, so bear with me. die. i find that i'm really not curious or interested in finding out who posted what (even though i could, to a degree, but not very accurately, in most cases, so don't worry) -- it's nice to be sent questions that i can answer without thinking about a response to or an interaction with a human being. it's a way to dehumanize it all, and keep it fun for me. i might get more annoyed or otherwise badly-affected (nervous, reluctant, something) if i were able to put names to the faces, as it were. it's great that this project has taken off and all, but, as i said somewhere else (in some other answer i was trying to stretch out), i suspect that the same three people are submitting all the questions. let's stop this silliness, go back to the asker's dumbass question and attempt a metaphor, or something. who or what might the forces be? perhaps they're in my own head. the easiest (cop-out) way to civilizedly sub-frame this question would be: "do you suffer from inner conflict?" i'd say "not a whole lot". however, i probably should. i've been told that everyone has a dark side, but that one is supposed to beat down and supress it. i tend to feed it, as well as feed my own mental illness and generally abberant and consensus-unhealthy behavior. if i were to take up arms against being a totally evil freak/troll, then at that point there would be some inner struggle between angels of light and fufur of the abyss (furfur is a demon -- look him up yourself). but really, and perhaps unfortunately, i'm pretty unconflicted. i don't try to be a certain way -- i pretty much am who i am. i think this might be bad. you know what they say: "be the change you want to see" (or some related crap-ola). another possible way to interpret this question might be: "are there actual people in your life who would like you to be a certain way, vs. others who would like you to be another way?" and actually, when i think about it, i'd have to say "yes, there are." some people want me to be nice, normal and good, while others, primarily for their entertainment purposes (ahem, blog readers, ahem) want me to be as weird and psycho as possible. now, ask no more personal questions, and ask no more nietzsche questions, because i am tired of answering them. do not ask anymore math questions. i don't know. ask something else. or better yet, tell your friends, so that i'm innundated with a such a load of questions that it i will have to choose which ones to answer (ie, easy ones). now, receiving so relatively few, if i were to hold my nose in the air and ignore things like "ass get creme?" then i'd be able to sense the dissappointment of he who submitted the question and received no answer, so i'm answering everything i get. i get something like two in the mail each day, on average; it gives me a reason to check my email, which is usually really horribly stagnant. askthebox.com is taken, by the way. i can see this happening: that i talk about things totally unrelated to the question i'm supposed to be answering, and just use this as an excuse to blog again. i can do that -- no penalty there. besides, what are you going to do about it? submit questions like "WHY ARE YOU SUCH AN UGLY PIECE OF SHIT?"? i'm surprised i haven't gotten more like that, actually. people have been pretty good, except for a few rotten apples (you know who you are, and that you will be punished). but again -- i'm basically tired of talking about myself. that's probably the biggest reason i stopped doing the blog. but if you ask questions like this, i don't really have a choice, now, do i? what are you trying to do to me here? i could just ignore questions like this, but i'd feel bad. but i can see myself descending into snappier and more vitriolic writing as this goes on. i was trying to be really civil, sort of formal and academic at first, but i might just get hit with so much crap that my unrefined style rampages forth and chews on your face. go toast some bread. |
